What is Contract Farming?

Contract Farming is an agreement between agricultural producers and buyers in which both parties agree in advance on the terms and conditions for the pro- duction and marketing of agricultural products, usually including the price to be paid, quantity and quality demanded and delivery dates. The contract may also include information or terms on how the production will be carried out or if any inputs such as seeds and fertilizers, financial assistance, technical advice, and other support services will be provided by the buyer or by another party.

 

Why the growing interest in Contract Farming?

The transformation of global agri-food systems and the rising dominance of global value chains (GVCs) have greatly pushed the demand for contract farming. The increase in demand for quality foods as consumers demand not only safe products but also products of higher quality and greater variety produced in ways that do not damage the environment or harm the workers.

The demand has also been driven by increasing competition, better response to market demands, and increased integration and coordination of value chains in vertical and horizontal dimensions, over-all more efficient value chains are the in thing. Similarly, the development of value addition activities, agribusiness, agro-in- dustries and export capacities, and commercialization of the agriculture sector in emerging and developing economies is a key factor for the growth and demand for contract farming globally.
